Comment Topic: First chapters are extremely important. They need to set the tone and entice the reader to read the rest of the book. Comment on the level of your engagement throughout the chapter. Did you find yourself skimming at times? Or were you hooked the entire way through? How was the Author able to keep you engaged and/or how did the Author lose you?
Comment Tip: Use a kind tone. Sticks and stone may break your bones, but words can destroy your confidence in writing! Writers have left this community because of the tone in the reviews they received. #NBR is about community and writers helping writers. So, please use phrases like "might consider" instead of "must do" or "I wasn't sure about this" instead of "your writing was confusing." When we are in a rush our words can convey a message that might be more harsh than we intended. So, review with patience, kindness, and generosity. Write with a smile on your face and let your review emanate from there.
And a gentle reminder: Our NBR enforcers police everyone's reviews for potentially rude comments.
